A palindrome is an expression that reads the same forwards and    backwards.
We found another example of a palindrome phrase: "Was it a rat I saw?"
A. The last year (before 1991) which was a palindrome year was 1881.
B.  The next year will be 2002.
C. The biggest palindrome number less than 500 is 494.
D. The least 4 digit palindrome number is 1001.
E. We tested the examples and found these results:
1001 + 292 = 1293
2002+1991= 3993
1001+1881=2882
1991+494=2485
292+484=776
 
What they have in common: If you add two palindrome numbers that you never
have to carry, you will  get another  palindrome number. But if you have to
carry tens you will not get a palindrome number. This works if the palindrome
numbers added
together  have the same number of digits.
Here are some more ideas about Palindromes:
1) What is the smallest palidrome number?
 
 
2) What is the largest 3-didgit palindrome  number?
 
 
3) Can a palindrome number be a 1-digit number? Why ?Or why not?
